If judgment is a result of the way the advice or reproach should be given, one should know how to do it:
- You may have the right or be under obligation to advise or reproach, but let it be with politeness, humbleness and love[1].
If you reproach with a spirit of pride and arrogance or with disdain and disregard, this will never be acceptable. If you want to advise or rebuke someone it must be done politely, humbly, and lovingly.
